The government’s political articulation team acts to prevent the amnesty from convicted of coup acts, which can benefit former President Jair Bolsonaro, advances in the House. The main goal of the Planalto Palace is that even the urgency, an instrument that accelerates the vote of the project, is based, but governors admit the scenario in which the pressure of pockets and part of the centrão can cause the measure to be placed in vote and, thinking about it, there is a threat of removal of positions from those who vote for.
Allied parliamentarians of former President Jair Bolsonaro try to pressure the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), to guide the subject and want to see the urgency and merit of the text approved by the House until next Wednesday. The head of the house has not yet defined a rapporteur for the text and has not hit the hammer about the voting date, but there is a clearer signal about it after Motta’s meeting with party leaders on Tuesday.
If the pressure for the urgency of the amnesty to be voted on has an effect on Motta and most leaders, government allies say they already have a strategy prepared to prevent the instrument that accelerates the project from being approved. There is an effort so that urgency does not reach the 257 votes necessary to pass and, for this, the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, led by Minister Gleisi Hoffmann, maps federal positions appointed by deputies of Centrão parties.

The evaluation of allies of the Planalto Palace is that it is necessary to charge parliamentarians so as not to vote for the text. In the case of deputies who do not feel comfortable voting against, the government has recommended that he are absent from the session.
The Minister of SRI even spoke publicly about the subject after União Brasil and the PP announced that they would ask the ministers of Tourism, Celso Sabino, and sports, André Fufuca, to leave the positions. The captions head, along with the PL, the pressure for the amnesty to be based.
The decision of the parties is valid only for affiliates who have mandate and does not reach, for example, appointed by the Senate President, David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), and former president of Chamber Arthur Lira (PP-AL).

Gleisi said in early September that “those who remain should be committed to President Lula and the main guidelines that this government defends” and that “this is true for those who have mandate and for those who have no mandate, including those who indicate people for government positions, whether in direct, indirect or regional administration.”
PT President Edinho Silva acknowledges that there is pressure for the amnesty to be guided is great, but stated that the party is prepared to dispute with the opposition.
– It will be a war. We cannot allow it to pass the amnesty. We have to build not to pass. It would be a right -wing victory internally and externally victory for (US president) Trump.

On the other hand, even members of the PT’s own government base and also in the MDB admit that there is a scenario of dissatisfaction in the House with the pace of release of amendments and that the Planalto Palace needs to worry about it to avoid defeats. This group has preached that it is necessary to give more speed to the amendments to prevent the deputies from voting in favor of amnesty.
On another front, the government base will lead to the next meeting of leaders, where amnesty should be one of the main subjects, an appeal for the project that exempts up to $ 5,000 of income tax to be based next week. The idea is to dispute the priority of amnesty voting and try to mobilize society by signaling that the project requested by the opposition has hindered a text of popular appeal.
There is still no agreement on the extent of the text of the amnesty. Members of Bolsonaro’s nearest PL want the amnesty to recover his eligibility, but centrão members have resisted this scenario and say it is more viable to approve a version that leaves Bolsonaro off the ballot box, but to cancel the condemnation in the coup plot.

Deputy Zeca Dirceu (PT-PR) said the government has acted to block any version of the initiative.
– The urgency will not be based, today the reality is this. If you change, we will defeat in the vote. The government has acted and the bench too.
Similarly, the PT leader in the House, Lindbergh Farias (RJ), stated that he only sees “the vote of amnesty in a scenario of defeat.”

– They will need 257 votes. You should not be guided, but if you guide we have to defeat.
